New home ladies :)

Before you set off, just a small reminder of a few rules & info :)

Please DO NOT make multiple posts one after another. If you have an addition to make just press 'modify' and add or amend it. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed rather than combined. It is time consuming for me and against site rules. This is especially important as the last thread reached 100 pages in about 6wks !!!

The purpose of this thread is to support those who are currently having similar treatment at Reprofit, in the lead up to your treatment and the immediate aftermath. As such we ask that for those undergoing treatment, discussions in this thread remain on topic and supportive for them. Once you get your BFP you are free to continue using this thread to support those ladies still cycling but please limit discussions of pregnancy to an absolute minimum in keeping with FF site rules.

Please bear in mind Site Guidelines: http://www.fertilityfriends.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=260253.0

Hey girls, sorry i've been AWOL, so so busy with work so i've had no time!

You are a right chatty lot and i've missed loads, there's no way i'm gonna be able to catch up with everything but....

^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ ^banana^ Congrats MITM... so happy for you!!! Hope you're doing ok? ^hugme^ ^hugme^

We got our donor info through yesterday, really happy!! Just waiting for AF then start Progynova on Monday! Fly out three weeks on Saturday!

Lots of love to you all x x
 
#5 Ā·
Oh, RieRie we might just miss each other! I'm aiming to be there 17-19 Nov, if my af plays ball! We may have to wave at each other on the runway!Ā  ^hugme^
 
#6 Ā·
Good to hear you are happy with donor RieRie - will be a busy month next month.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Girls, my lining only went up to 4.1 from 3.4 on Monday! What do I do????Egg collection is only about three days away!!! I need advice FAST! There has to be SOMETHING I can do!!!! Can I take the male form of Viagra????? Am I out??? Cos I would still be major bummed if we had to freeze everything and had nothing for transfer!! :-[
 
#8 Ā·
Oh no Tara!! I'm sorry to hear that. The male form of viagra won't work it has to be vaginal pessaries and it would be too late anyway now hun. When is your trigger? If I'm totally honest with you there's no way I would consider a transfer with a lining that thin. I know a fet is so disappointing but you could go back ASAP and you know your embies would be safely frozen away. You don't want to waste a potentially good embryo if it doesn't have a decent chance of working. Next time you could just concentrate on getting the lining nice and thick with estrogen and viagraĀ  ^hugme^
 
#9 Ā·
Tara - So sorry about your lining. Im afraid ive no suggestion for anything that might helpĀ  ???Ā  ^hugme^Ā  xx

HHTTC - Have you tested yet or are you still planning to poas tomorrow? xx
 
#10 Ā·
Morning girls,

New board already we are very chatty.

Tara I agree with Lucieloos I wouldn't be doing transfer with lining that thin. You don't want to waste a good embryo. As annoying as delays are šŸ˜¢

Rie Rie how exciting not long to go then šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬

I have booked my flights for egg collection flying out Thursday 3rd Nov and coming back the 5th so hoping timings work the same as last time šŸ˜³

What do you guys think to acupuncture with Lucy just thinking for transfer next time ā‚¬100 seems a lot of money? Xx
 
#11 Ā·
Lolly - ive never done the acupuncture, im not sure i really think it makes any difference but i guess thats all down to the individual. I guess if your stressed and you (or your surro) find accupuncture relaxing then it could help but i think i can relax n chill out without paying another 100 euro n having needles stuck in meĀ  ;D
 
#12 Ā·
Sorry to hear your news Tara - hope you decide whatever is the best for you both.

Lolly - Lucie was very good and i felt totally relaxed - although i dont think will have in Nov FET due to timing and us going to Berlin once I'm pupo and not 100% convinced.
 
#13 Ā·
Lolly, I had acupuncture on the last 3 transfers and got a bfp two times out of three. There are some studies out there which show it increases implantation levels. I can't say I'm overly convinced either way really and whilst it is kind of relaxing it doesn't really do a lot for me but I wanted to try everything I possibly could so I did it anyway.
 
#14 Ā·
Ooh, new thread! We certainly know how to chat, eh girls?! I just looked back at my bookmarks and I first joined in the thread on 'part 3' lol actually, don't know whether to laugh or cryĀ  ;D

Tara - oh no!!! OK, this is tough but as the others' have said...it would be better to wait and go for an FET than to risk implantation not happening as a result. There are studies out there that say the body is in a better place when doing FET, getting the stimming drugs out of the system etc... I know it's not an easy decision when you have to consider time off work/travel/money etc... but try and think about it in the long run. If you go for it and it doesn't work, you would feel pretty rubbish. Sending you massive hugs sweetieĀ  ^hugme^ ^hugme^ ^hugme^

Lolly - Hi sweetness, eek - not long for you again, keeping everything crossed your follies/eggs play ball this time around! I can't imagine getting so many, last time for EC I only had 3 follicles at my first scan lol! Re: acupuncture, it certainly helped me to feel calm and I enjoyed it in the UK before I went (almost went to sleep a few times) I had 2 sessions before going for FET but actually in Brno, I didn't find it as calming, the needles seemed to hurt more and I was a bit cold! It might have just been because I felt a bit nervous...I don't know? I think, as Lucie said, for peace of mind it's worth doing. Lucie (acupuncturist) is really lovely.

Ooh RieRie - exciting times!!

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you all have good weekends, whatever's going on in your world right now xx

Honey - ooooh how time flies and how many people we've seen come n go. I think i beat you tho - ive been here since part 2 back in June 2013Ā  :eek:
 
#16 Ā·
I truly hope Honeybee and Toffeepop that you have leave this board very soon. :)
 
#17 Ā·
;D awww thanks (i think ;)) xx

Lolly - Did you end up having the sperm frag tests? Xx

Els bells - where you gone hun, are you stimming now?xx
 
#18 Ā·
Meant in the nicest possible way :D
 
#19 Ā·
Girls, I just can't give up yet.Ā  I've drinking loads of pomegranate juice here and I have raspberry leaf tea aswell- I know it's late.Ā  Q, does anyone know if the raspberry leaf tea CAPSULES are as good as the tea?Ā  Co-ordinator was saying they can put me on estrogen after egg collection for lining, will that help?
 
#20 Ā·
Tara - ive no idea about the tea/capsules but im not sure if estrogen after collection would work as thats ovulation and progesterone time, i would have thought it would be too late at that pointĀ  ??? X
 
#21 Ā·
Sorry Tara - I have no idea.

Can anyone tell me best way to get from Prague Airport to the city centre?Ā  I'm ok re Prague to Brno.

Also for HSK - did you take out travel ins to cover treatment ? Wheres best to shop for this
 
#22 Ā·
Zph - you can get the student agency bus from prague airport to brno. you can book online in advance. The bus isnt direct so you have to change buses once you get to prague bus station. its about 40 mins from the airport to the bus station, you will then have about 50 mins wait for the brno bus which then takes 2.5hrs to get to brno x

Just realised you only wanted to go to pragueĀ  ;D i could of just said.......you get get the student agency bus
 
#23 Ā·
Hehe Toffee ;D cool will look for bus at Airport.Ā  We will get train to Brno as need to be there 8.30 25/10.

taraeob - I know how you feel my cycle 4 was cancelled due to poor response and lining being 5.1 its devastating but I have used provanova estrogen tablets on the strongest dose 8mgs from egg collection on cycle 3 and got a BFP, it was chemical but my lining went up to 9.1 from 6ish in 5 days so you could try it, the only thing I would say is ask your doc about the trigger I have heard that went you trigger one layer of your lining becomes tougher to penetrate after trigger, not sure if that's right as there is soooooo much to google and read when your in a panic like this, so check everything and if you feel you want to then give it a go, but ask them about it on my 5th cycle over there my lining was 6mm and they said go ahead they never said what it went up to in the end but had another chemical so good luck pickle xx
 
#25 Ā·
Tara, it's really important for your lining to be over 8mm by trigger to give you the best chance. There's no point trying to thicken it after trigger as the lining changes and if it does get thicker it will just be down to fluid released from the glands and embryos can't implant in fluid. The base layer which is the important bit won't thicken after trigger as that's when the progesterone starts to be released which changes the lining. I assume you will be triggering tomorrow or Sunday so there really is no way to get the lining to grow that much in 1 or 2 days. This is one of the downsides of clomid and why I asked for femara instead although I still struggled even on that which is why I then went on the viagra as well. I know it's really disappointing but please don't risk an embryo hun like somebody else said if it ends in bfn which is the likely outcome with the lining that thin you are going to be devastated. Even if you did get a bfp it's unlikely the lining would be able to support a pregnancy and could end in chemical or miscarriage. It's just not worth the risk for the sake of a month or two.

This is the info I posted up before http://haveababy.com/fertility-information/ivf-authority/viagra-for-ivf-how-does-it-work-and-who
 
#26 Ā·
Hmmm hows about starting the estrogen at trigger rather than at collection - would that work? The follies would already be a decent size and it would give an extra day or so to thicken the lining before ec/ovulation/progesterone?? No idea if thats a good or bad thing to try tho as i guess it might damage any eggs
